Shillong became the first capital of the State of Meghalaya. Located in undulating pine-covered hills, the city has a milder climate than tropical India. The city center is 1496m above sea level and currently has a population of around 270,000. Home to several waterfalls, it is also known as the Scotland of the East. The British legacy is still visible in the architecture and food habits of the population. Overnight at Shillong.

Day 03
Shillong– Tezpur Tour
Breakfast at the hotel and drive to Tezpur.
Little more than a utilitarian stopover for travelers journeying into Arunachal Pradesh or Upper Assam, Tezpur is a charming town with some beautifully kept parks, attractive lakes, and enchanting views of the mighty Brahmaputra River as it laps the town’s edge. Overnight at hotel.
Day 04
Tezpur – Dirang Tour
After breakfast drive to Dirang.

Day 05
Dirang – Tawang Tour
After breakfast drive to Tawang.
En-route witness the snowcapped Sella Pass at 14000 ft and the Jaswant Garh War Memorial. (Legend has it that Jaswant (Mahavir Chakra Awardee (Posthumous) of 4th BatallionGarhwal Rifles), fought a lone battle against the invading Chinese during the 1962 war. His spirit is still believed to protect the place).
Tawang is situated at an altitude of 3500m. The natural beauty and solitude of the Gudpi and Chong-Chugmi ranges, Tawangchu River, and Tawang Valley are mesmerizing. The inhabitants of the districts are all Monpa tribes except Shyo village which is dominated by people of Tibetan Origin. Overnight at hotel
Day 06
Tawang Tour
Breakfast at the hotel.
Proceed for sightseeing of 400 years (17th century) old Tawang Monastery which is the second largest monastery in the world after Potala Palace in Tibet.

The Buddhist monastery of Bomdila is the repository of culture.
Explore the town in the afternoon. Overnight at the hotel
Day 08
Bomdila – Guwahati Tour
After breakfast drive from Bomdila to Guwahati.
The gateway to the northeast and the largest and most cosmopolitan city in the region, Guwahati serves as the starting block for most Northeast itineraries. It’s a somewhat featureless city – a prosaic heap of glass and concrete for the most part – but there are a scattering of interesting temples to explore. Walk its back alleys and old quarters, however, and you will be able to salvage a generous amount of local flavor that lingers amid its suburban sprawl of ponds, palm trees, small single-story traditional houses, and old colonial-era mansions. Overnight at hotel.
Day 09
Departure to Guwahati airport/station
After breakfast visit Kamakhya temple - The temple is dedicated to the goddess Kamakhya an incarnation of Sati. It is on Nilachal hill, says the Shiva Purana, that the yoni or creative organ of Sati fell when Vishnu, in a bid to save the world from Shiva’s tandavanrittya or dance of destruction, cut her dead body into 51 pieces with his Sudarshan chakra.
Also, visit Navagraha Temple andUmanandaTemple (by Govt. ferry).
Later on transfer to the airport/railway station in time for onward connection.
